If you think about it, smells don’t act like waves, unlike sound and light.
You can locate things with smell, but not in the same way as sound and light. Yes, some species do have prominent stereo smell, so they can know a direction from which a smell is emanating, but the emanation doesn’t propagate like waves.
Ah, so when you’re talking about how smells work, it’s “if you really think about it”, but when anyone else actually thinks about it and says their thoughts, it’s “parroting nonsense”.
I just don’t think you like me having disagreed with a thing you said, as smells don’t propagate in the same way sound and light does and I can’t just say they do for your sake.
They probably realize they are moving because they can track the direction and strength of the smells of the previous room.
If you think about it, you can use smells to locate in 3d the same way you can use vision or sound.

Being aware of how pedantic you’re being, doesn’t make it any better btw. Specially when you don’t know what you’re taking about.
Air is a gas and things flow form higher to lower concentration, so smells propagate form the source outwards. Like drop of ink in clear water.
You have stereoscopic smell. Go outside and follow the smell of grass.
D’you think I was trying to…?
Turbulent flow is quite different to laminar flow, even when you don’t account for one being propagated as waves and the other not.
Humans do not have smell accurate enough for it to be described as sterescopic. Sorry. Facts don’t agree with you. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah. I thought you wanted to talk, not just to parrot nonsense. I would have blocked you way earlier otherwise lmao
Nonsense?
